SoluForce pipeline solutions are comprehensive yet economic. You can opt for a pipe-and-fittings only solution. But we can also supply a range of services and support. These include computer-controlled electrofusion installation machines for rent or purchase. We can train and educate international and local workforces in the use of the SoluForce system, so you can speed up installation and reduce your labour needs – safely. We can assist with project management and help you find the right people for your project. Or a combination of the above.

SoluForce pipe systems come in Classic,

Light and Heavy versions. SoluForce

Classic is designed for medium to

high-pressure fluid transportation and

is fully resistant to all hydrocarbons and

chemicals involved in water injection

as well as in extreme sour applications.

SoluForce Light shares the same

properties but is designed for low to

medium-pressure operations. SoluForce

Heavy is specially developed for very

high pressure (saline) water injection and

provides an excellent, flexible solution for

high-pressure water transportation.

In addition to our conventional high-

performance pipes, we now also offer

Gas Tight (GT) versions of SoluForce

Classic and High Temperature versions

(HT) of SoluForce Heavy. These special

extensions to our portfolio are new to our

programme.

High-quality SoluForce flexible

composite pipeline systems are

typically used in these oil and gas-

related applications:

- High-pressure water injection

pipelines

- Water transport solutions

- Effluent water disposal

- Water distribution lines

- Temporary surface lines

All SoluForce flexible composite pipeline

systems use metal-free fittings, couplings

and connectors. Our pipeline systems

are therefore resistant to all chemicals

involved in injection applications,

including:

- H2S

- CO2

- Strong inorganic acids like HCl and

H2SO4

- Strong alkaline materials, including

NaOH, KOH and NH2 solutions

- Anti-corrosion additives

- Mineral salts

SoluForce Heavy pipes can withstand

very high pressures and are ideal where

the need to operate at high pressures is

a priority.

SoluForce offers a range of solutions for the high-pressure transportation of water. Featuring polyethylene liners and metal-free fittings, our pipelines systems are durable – they cannot corrode – high quality, fast and easy to install over ground or in trenches, efficient, cost-effective and built for the long term.

Water injection has long played a key role in increasing the productivity, life-expectancy and profitability of onshore and offshore wells. When profits are under pressure, maintenance, repairs and downtime can turn a just profitable field into a financial burden. SoluForce has the technology and know-how you need to avoid this. SoluForce pipeline systems for water are durable, sustainable, fast to install, maintenance-free and have a design life of up to 50 years.

CASE 1A low OPEX pipeline made for jungle conditions

When a major American gas operator needed to lay water

injection flow lines in the jungles of central Sumatra, Indonesia,

there was only one solution. Tough, environmentally sensitive

ground conditions and near 100% humidity pose no problems for

SoluForce’s non-corrosive, flexible composite pipeline systems.

The 24 km of SoluForce Heavy pipeline (needed to handle

pressures of 2200 psi), was laid by local people trained by

SoluForce. The pipes’ low weight made them significantly easier

to handle and transport in remote jungle conditions, and the very

small footprint kept the ROW to a minimum, so that only a few trees

had to be cut. And with no need for corrosion inhibitors or cathodic

protection, the result is a low OPEX water injection system in a

highly demanding environment.

SoluForce pipeline systems:

The durable choice for high-pressure water transportation

WATER

SoluForce Classic: M480/M570

SoluForce Classic is an excellent, flexible

solution for medium to high-pressure

fluid transportation, and the system

itself is fully non-metallic. Reinforced

with synthetic fibre tape, it has a design

pressure of 113 bar / 1640 psi for the

4-inch M480 and 90 bar / 1305 psi for

the 6-inch M570 pipe. Being fully metal-

free, it is ideal for even the toughest

applications. With SoluForce Classic, it is

possible to uprate the maximum pressure

in line with the maximum ambient and/

or fluid temperature under which the

pipeline will operate. SoluForce Classic is

resistant to all chemicals involved in water

transportation, including:

- H2S

- CO2

- Strong inorganic acids like HCl

and H2SO4

- Strong alkaline materials, including

NaOH, KOH and NH3 solutions

- Anti-corrosion additives

- Mineral salts

SoluForce Light: L450/L540

SoluForce Light has all the same

properties as SoluForce Classic, at

lower pressures. SoluForce Light

therefore provides an excellent, flexible

solution for low to medium-pressure

fluid transportation and is fully non-

metallic. SoluForce Light is reinforced

with synthetic fibre tape and has a design

pressure of 45 bar / 650 psi for the 4-inch

L450 and 36 bar / 520 psi for the 6-inch

L540 pipe. SoluForce Light shares exactly

the same resistance to chemicals as

SoluForce Classic.

SoluForce Heavy: H415/H515

SoluForce Heavy provides an excellent,

flexible solution for high-pressure water

transport. Reinforced with high-strength

steel wire, SoluForce Heavy has a design

pressure of 344 bar / 4990 psi for the

4-inch H415 pipe and 275 bar / 2990

psi for the 6-inch H515 pipe (call us or

see the technical data sheet for more

information). The SoluForce Heavy pipe is

resistant to:

- Strong inorganic acids like HCI

and H2SO4

- Strong alkaline materials, including

NaOH, KOH and NH3 solutions

As the pipe is reinforced with steel wire,

it has certain limitations regarding fluid

composition. See the technical data sheet

or contact us for more information.

Economics, safety and speed are more important than ever inhydrocarbon production

HYDROCARBONS

Economic pipeline systems for onshore oil and gas

Fluctuating prices, unconventional sources and growing environmental pressures mean safety, economics and speed are an even higher priority for the oil and gas industry. SoluForce pipeline systems meet these requirements. Our transportation solutions are durable, do not require corrosion inhibitors and are easier to dewax than metal pipelines. They don’t crack, break or leak. They have a service life of up to 50 years. They are up to 10 times lighter than their steel equivalents (and therefore much easier to handle), quicker to install, maintenance-free and they can be recycled.

High-quality SoluForce flexible

composite pipeline systems are

typically used in these onshore

hydrocarbon applications:

- Oil and gas flow lines

- Oil and gas gathering lines

- Gas pipelines

- Gas condensate

- Multi-phase pipelines

- High-pressure water injection

pipelines

All SoluForce flexible composite pipeline

systems use metal-free fittings, couplings

and connectors. Our pipeline systems

are therefore resistant to all chemicals

involved in oil and gas production and

extreme sour environments, including:

- H2S

- CO2

- Strong inorganic acids like HCl and

H2SO4

- Strong alkaline materials, including

NaOH, KOH and NH3 solutions

- Anti-corrosion additives

- Mineral salts

Whether you need to deploy a network in physically challenging terrain or move highly corrosive liquids at high pressure, or both, SoluForce pipeline systems have your needs covered. Our hydrocarbon pipes and pipes for high-pressure water injection lines feature polyethylene liners and non-metallic fittings. These ensure the durability of the complete system.

Pushing the boundaries even further,

our SoluForce Heavy HT pipe (High

Temperature) has a design temperature

of 105°C/220ºF – a level of performance

unmatched by any other flexible

composite pipe available today.

SoluForce Classic GT pipes (Gas Tight)

have been specially developed for high-

pressure gas applications and completely

eliminate permeation of fluid components

like H2S, methane and BTX.

SoluForce flexible composite pipes are ideal for transporting hydrocarbons and moving

injection fluids across any terrain. They are fast, easy and cost-effective to install, and they

feature a complete, non-corrosive coupling system. The product range is tailored to suit a

variety of needs in onshore oil and gas production, and transportation.

SoluForce Classic: M480/M570 (GT)

The SoluForce Classic and Classic GT

(Gas Tight) pipes are both designed with

the needs of hydrocarbon transportation

in mind. The SoluForce Classic is

reinforced with synthetic fibre tape and

has a design pressure of 113 bar / 1640

psi for the 4-inch M480 and 90 bar /

1305 psi for the 6-inch M570 pipe. Being

fully non-metallic, it is ideal for even the

toughest applications, such as sour oil

service without restrictions on H2S and

CO2 content. The SoluForce Classic

GT contains an aluminium barrier layer

to completely stop the permeation of

hazardous and toxic fluid components

like BTX and H2S. Both pipes provide an

excellent, flexible solution for medium-

pressure fluid transportation.

SoluForce Light: L450/L540 (GT)

SoluForce Light provides an excellent,

flexible solution for low to medium-

pressure fluid transportation. Reinforced

with synthetic fibre tape for lower–

pressure applications, SoluForce has a

design pressure of of 45 bar / 650 psi

for the 4-inch L450 and 36 bar / 520 psi

for the 6-inch L540 pipe. The pipe is fully

non-metallic, which allows it to be used in

any sour application, without restrictions

on H2S and CO2 content.

CASE 2A pipeline network that requires no maintenance

The remote northern Iraq-Kurdistan region is known for its difficult

terrain. So when a Norwegian oil company needed to deploy a new

pipeline system quickly, there was really only one viable solution.

The advanced flexible composite pipeline system from SoluForce

met all requirements. We could despatch the order quickly and

installation would be far quicker than is possible with conventional

alternatives. Our SoluForce Classic pipeline system also easily met

all the technical demands it would face: high H2S and CO2 levels,

plus extreme salinity.

The crude oil flowline was laid at an average rate of 2 km a day.

Installation was performed by local crews, trained at the SoluForce

Academy. Ultimately, over 15 wells were connected to a processing

facility, with the short lead time helping boost early production. The

network is also completely maintenance-free.

Making marginal fields economically viable is the huge, easy-win opportunity in offshore

OFFSHORE

Economic pipeline systems for offshore oil and gas

As the easier to exploit oil and gas fields become scarce, the industry focus is increasingly turning to deepwater drilling. But there is another opportunity: making shallow-water fields that are now barely viable cost-effective. And just as in deepwater drilling, innovation is the key. SoluForce pipeline solutions are at the forefront in helping the industry exploit marginal fields profitably.

High-quality SoluForce flexible

composite pipeline systems are

typically used in these offshore oil and

gas applications:

- High-pressure water injection lines

- Oil and gas transportation flow lines

- Gas and oil gathering lines

- Well intervention

- Landing/ export lines

SoluForce pipeline systems are

completely corrosion resistant – even in

extreme sour service. Our pipes have

a smooth bore, which ensures a much

lower flow-resistance and improved flow

capacity. SoluForce pipes can be used

unfilled and unpressurised at a maximum

depth of 80 metres/260 feet. Fluid filled

they can be used in much deeper water.

SoluForce pipelines have been used as

a temporary test line at a water depth of

1000 metres/3280 feet.

All SoluForce flexible composite pipeline

systems use metal-free fittings, couplings

and connectors. Our pipeline systems

are therefore resistant to all chemicals in-

volved in injection applications, including:

- H2S

- CO2

- Strong inorganic acids like HCl and

H2SO4

- Strong alkaline materials, including

NaOH, KOH and NH2 solutions

- Anti-corrosion additives

- Mineral salts

SoluForce Heavy pipes can withstand

very high pressures and are ideal where

the need to operate at high pressures is

a priority.

When it comes to making marginal offshore oil and gas fields economically viable, SoluForce pipeline solutions offer a number of advantages over steel and other flexible options. Light, strong, durable and reliable – and with shorter lead times – our pipeline systems are perfect for connecting marginal wells to nearby platforms, so eliminating the need for a new drilling platform. They are quicker, easier and cheaper to deploy with no welding required, no need for hot permits and no need for specialist pipe-laying barges.

SoluForce flexible composite pipes are easy to install, making them a durable and

economical solution for offshore use. Because offshore oil and gas is an especially

demanding industry, we work directly with oil operators, subsea contractors, engineering

companies and industry suppliers to provide the added value required to run complex

projects successfully.

Our solutions for offshore are based on our SoluForce Classic and SoluForce Heavy

pipeline systems, and we would be happy to advise you on the various options, including

weights.

CASE 3An inter-field connection with low CAPEX and no OPEX

A French oil company was looking for a straightforward, reliable,

cost-effective and easy-to-deploy solution to connect two of

its fields off the coast of west Africa. The perfect project for a

SoluForce solution.

SoluForce pipeline systems are ideal for anyone who wants to

minimise CAPEX and eliminate OPEX in offshore production. The

8.8 km SoluForce Classic pipeline system was laid in less than

two days, at an average speed of 5.5 km a day, and needed only

one deployment carousel. It was assembled onshore, locally, and

stabilised on the seabed, 40 metres down, using locally made

concrete blocks. The capital costs were low, and being made of

corrosion-free reinforced thermoplastics, the flexible composite

pipeline system eliminates operational costs.

a non-metallic electrofusion connection

system is available. For the Heavy pipe

system, we offer a non-metallic single

swaged and a high performance double

swage connection system.

Our services also include providing

dedicated SoluForce installation

equipment. The equipment, which can

be rented as well as purchased, is state

of the art and computer controlled. This

guarantees that all couplings and fittings

are installed in a way that is controlled,

consistent and correct.

SoluForce Academy:Installation made easy

The SoluForce Academy offers extensive training programmes to certify local contractors and end-user staff for installation, operation, maintenance and inspection. We train and support your international staff and deliver local-content training to ensure your SoluForce system is installed safely, quickly and in a way that will ensure its long-term durability.

In-line couplings

End fittings

The SoluForce inline coupler connects

two lengths of SoluForce pipe. The

electrofusion inline couplings are

completely non-metallic and ensure that

the transported fluids never come into

direct contact with steel, so preventing

corrosion.

Electrofusion inline couplings:

- Fully non-metallic thanks to a

combination of butt-welding and

electrofusion

- The installed coupling is designed to be

stronger than the pipe itself

SoluForce pipe-to-pipe connector:

- A metal pipe-to-pipe connector with

electrofusion connections

- No direct contact between fluid and

metal parts, corrosion free.

The reliability of SoluForce is guaranteed by extensive lab testing and long-term field experience. To assess long-term strength, for example, SoluForce pipes are pressure-tested for over 10,000 hours – equivalent to more than one year – in line with internationally accepted standards.

Proven to be made to last

One of the most important test criteria

ensures that the fitting system is stronger

than the pipe itself. After corrosion, third

party interference is the major cause of

conventional pipeline failure. Because

SoluForce Light and Classic are

completely non-metallic, including the

fitting system, they offer the ultimate

solution in corrosion resistance. Their

resistance to third party interference,

earthquakes and landslides has been

verified in the lab by falling-weight impact

testing, axial load and bending testing.

All under the supervision of major oil

companies. In-field impact testing with

digging machines has shown SoluForce

delivers equal or better performance than

conventional steel pipe.

Most importantly, SoluForce is field-

proven. Our first flow lines were installed

in the Middle East in 2000. These

pipes have remained in service since

then without interruption. Meanwhile,

SoluForce has been installed worldwide,

both onshore and offshore, at major oil

and gas companies. There has never

been a report of failure in service.

The SoluForce system has a solid track record in the oil and gas industry and has been in use since 2000 for a variety of applications. These include oil and gas utility pipelines, water distribution/ injection lines, oil and gas transportation flow lines, and gas and oil gathering lines.Every SoluForce product is developed
